OEM stands for original equipment manufacturer, meaning the cartridge was made by the same company that made your printer. Original brand cartridges are very reliable and sometimes the only option if your printer is new to market or uncommon.

Remanufactured ink is a genuine brand cartridge that has gone through one cycle of use. After use, the cartridge is recycled, acquired by a remanufacturing facility and put through a rigorous professional refurbishing process. During the refurbishing process the cartridge is disassembled, thoroughly cleaned and tested for quality. It's then carefully refilled, tested again and brought back to life. Buying remanufactured prevents one less cartridge from ending up in a landfill.

A compatible cartridge is a brand new ink cartridge built by a manufacturer other than your printer. It's like buying the generic version of the genuine brand. Most are uniquely designed to differentiate from genuine cartridges. Despite any structural difference you may notice, the cartridge will still fit in your machine and print a full yield, just like the original brand.

Price Factors

Many printer manufacturers follow the razor-and-blades business model which may result in higher priced genuine cartridges.

Remanufactured ink is much cheaper than the original brand ink. It's far more cost effective to refurbish a previously used cartridge than create a new OEM from scratch.

Compatible ink is much cheaper than the original brand. Compatible suppliers don't have to worry about the additional costs that hinder OEMs like new printers or firmware, which lets them keep prices low.

Quality

Original cartridges work extremely well and are covered under a warranty by the printer manufacturer

High quality remanufactured ink will match the quality of the original, but not all remanufactured ink is created equal. Make sure you buy from a reputable supplier in order to get the absolute best results.

What's the difference between ink and toner cartridges?

Ink Cartridges

Toner Cartridges

Printer Type

Work with inkjet printers

Work with laser printers

Material

Liquid ink

Dry powder

How it works

Inkjet printers use a series of nozzles that spray tiny drops of ink directly on the print suface

Laser toner printers use static electricity and heat to bond dry toner powder to a page

Commonly used by

Casual home users, small business and photographers

Large businesses and schools

Number of Pages You Can Print

A cartridge's page yield is the estimated number of pages you can print. Page yield is based on 5% page coverage. This means that the quoted page yield is based upon printed pages where only 5% of the page has been imprinted with ink. For example, a short memo has approximately 5% coverage. If you have a cartridge that has a yield of 500 pages, it can print 500 pages of that short memo. If you are printing letters, photos or graphics, your coverage will vary greatly and your page yield will drop significantly.

Cartridge Warranty and Shelf Life

Most ink and toner cartridges include a warranty or "best by" date on their box. Remanufactured and compatible ink cartridges can last 12-18 months unopened, and toner cartridges can last up to 3 years.

Cartridge Care and Storage

Only open a cartridge when you need it. Opened cartridges will eventually dry out, especially if the protective tape or clip has been removed. If you have an open ink cartridge around and would like to try and prevent it from drying out, place it nozzle side up in a plastic airtight tub. If your cartridge came with protective tape or a clip reapply both before storing. Place a damp cloth or paper towel in the tub, next to the cartridge and keep it stored in a cool, dark place.

Remanufactured 4 Pack for HP 564XL

Q:

Will the 564XL work w/my HP 7520 which uses 564 ink cartridges? Last time I bought 564XL it was too big.

And you are correct, the HP564XL will not fit the black smaller cartridges. They are too big and not able to find just the 564.

Answered on 4/8/2017 by Char from Akron, Ohio

A:

A possible reason is that you might be putting the black 564XL cartridge into the photo black cartridge slot. The photo black cartridge slot is smaller than the regular black 564 slot. The black 564XL is designed to fit the same slot as the black 564 slot; ONLY photo black 564 cartridges can fit the photo black slot.

To print in black and white, you'll need to change the settings on your printer to Black and White mode or Grayscale mode (whichever is available in your settings.) When any of the cartridges run out, the printer will refuse to print until you have replaced the empty cartridge.

Sorry I gave you the wrong number. What is the Difference between CD975AN/920XL andCD971An/920XL other than the fact that it is bigger.Does it contain more ink?

Yes, the only difference between the HP 564 (standard) and HP 564XL (high yield) is the amount of ink it carries. You may certainly give our sales team a call at (888) 321-2552 to place a phone order or answer any further questions!

LD Remanufactured Ink Set of 11 for HP 564XL Series

Q:

I have been using LD HP940XL for my HP8500 printer. I had problems with the print heads, over the years and finally had to purchase a new HP8610 printer. My question is how your ink compares to the HP ink? Does it meet the HP requirements and not damage my printer? The last order for HP940XL Black actually showed the level of ink, will the new HP950/951 cartridge provide the amount of ink remaining?

Our remanufactured cartridges for the HP OfficeJet 8610 - HP 950/951XL contains a new smart chip that the printer will detect and provide the accurate ink levels. The quality is just like an OEM cartridge. If there is any issues at all, please contact our customer service department at (888) 321-2552 for further assistance.

Cartridge Replacement for the HP 564XL Black Ink (CN684WN)

Q:

On my most recent order including several black ink cartridges, when I opened the box on one, it had leaked out severely. Do I need to return it for it to be replaced? I do need to order more (which I will do when I finish this question) and would request just the damaged one be replaced.

By the way, I am very pleased with the service, prices, delivery and the product itself.

I purchased all of the replacement colors for my photo printer - the Cyan printed true - however the magenta and yellow print 95% gray with 5% of the color mixed in....

It's not the Cyan didn't print true to color, but because the other colors didn't, I can't trust that any order will come out right the next time - therefore I will not be a returning customer. See for yourself - I have included an image of the Print Quality Diagnostic Report - this was the 4th print out....

The most recent batch of cartridges has been horrible. The print quality is extremely disappointing, the yield is well short of the original cartridges and the SMELL of the ink is overwhelming. This was the 3rd time we ordered these cartridges and they must have changed something, because we were reasonably happy with the first 2 orders.

I RECEIVED MY 3 CARTRIDGES BUT WHEN I WENT TO USE THE FIRST 1 IT ONLY PRINTED A COUPLE OF PAGES, PUT #2 IN, IT DID THE SAME & SO DID THE 3rd ONE. I HAVE SENT THE COMPANY 2 MESSAGES ABOUT THIS & THERE HAS BEEN NO RESPONSE TO EITHER MESSAGE. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED!
